SS65600-008F Modular Connector Jack 6P6C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SS65600-008F is a modular connector jack manufactured by Stewart Connector, designed for 6-position 6-contact (6P6C) applications including RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 configurations. This vertical, unshielded through-hole connector features board lock functionality and solder termination. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SS65600-008F is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Connector type: Jack
• Contact configuration: 6P6C (RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, RJ25)
• Mounting: Through hole
• Orientation: Vertical
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Board lock feature: Present
• Operating temperature: -40°C to 85°C minimum
• Contact finish: Gold plated

All substitute parts listed meet these criteria. Variations in contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), contact finish thickness, housing material composition, and product status are documented but do not disqualify substitution eligibility based on the electrical and mechanical requirements of this connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SS-6566-NF is the direct Stewart Connector equivalent, maintaining the same manufacturer lineage as the obsolete SS65600-008F. This part is active in production and ROHS3 compliant, providing continuity for designs currently using Stewart Connector modular jacks. The primary difference is reduced contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus 50.0µin), which remains within acceptable parameters for 6P6C applications.

A-2014-1-1-N-T, A-2014-1-2-N-T, and A-2014-1-3-N-T are Assmann WSW Components alternatives that meet all core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. These parts are active in production and ROHS3 compliant. The Assmann series uses phosphor bronze contacts with varying gold finish thicknesses (15.0µin, 30.0µin, and 50.0µin respectively) and polyester glass-filled housing. Selection among these three variants depends on contact finish thickness requirements for your specific application.

All substitute parts maintain compatibility with RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 configurations and operate across the full -40°C to 85°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS-6566-NF directly replace SS65600-008F in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are Stewart Connector 6P6C vertical unshielded jacks with board lock, solder termination, and identical operating temperature ranges. The contact finish thickness difference (30.0µin versus 50.0µin) does not affect functional compatibility for standard modular connector applications.

Q: What is the difference between Stewart Connector and Assmann WSW Components substitutes?

A: Stewart Connector (SS-6566-NF) maintains manufacturer continuity with the original part. Assmann WSW Components alternatives (A-2014 series) offer equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with different contact materials (phosphor bronze versus copper alloy) and housing composition (polyester glass-filled versus thermoplastic). All meet the same 6P6C jack specifications and operating requirements.

Q: How do contact finish thickness variations affect part selection?

A: Contact finish thickness (15.0µin, 30.0µin, or 50.0µin) influences durability under repeated mating cycles. The original SS65600-008F specified 50.0µin. For applications requiring maximum contact durability, A-2014-1-3-N-T (50.0µin) or SS-6566-NF (30.0µin) are appropriate. For standard applications, A-2014-1-1-N-T (15.0µin) is acceptable.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. SS-6566-NF, A-2014-1-1-N-T, A-2014-1-2-N-T, and A-2014-1-3-N-T are all ROHS3 compliant. The original SS65600-008F RoHS status was not specified.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: SS-6566-NF is supplied in tube packaging. Assmann WSW Components parts (A-2014 series) are supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement quantities and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 applications?

A: Yes. All listed parts support 6P6C configurations compatible with RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 standards. Connector type, contact count, and mechanical form factor are identical across all substitutes.
